"Found in this ever popular and sought after village, in a beautiful section of the Solway Coast Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty, within easy walking distance of the shoreline, a substantial, link detached family home with 3 reception rooms, 4 bedrooms, stables & paddocks, in all circa 3.25 acres.

Believed to date back to the 1850 s, Dowthwaite Cottage is a charming property, converted from two traditional sandstone barns and recently thoroughly renovated by our clients creating a well presented, flexible and spacious family home, occupying a quiet and sheltered position to the fringe of this well regarded Solway village.

Approched by a shared lane from the main highway, the majority of the property faces to the rear with vehicle access to the side.

The front porch opens into a hallway, which has a most useful utility room off, and gives access straight away to the sitting room and kitchen dining room. From here doors lead to the garden and an internal hallway, which has the downstairs bathroom off, and then into the L shaped lounge, which has a partly vaulted ceiling with a modern wood burning stove and in turn leads to a "snug" additional reception room or study.

To the first floor are 4 double bedrooms and a shower room.

To the rear of the main house a generous block paved patio, with open sided gazebo, leads to the parking area and enclosed lawned garden. Beyond this are two enclosed paddocks and a stable block with tack room and 4 stables.

Please note, a rarely used public footpath follows the southern boundary track.
